Double Oven Slimline Shaker Card

By KariV on October 22, 2023 in Christmas, Holidays, Paper Crafting, Thanksgiving

Hello! Today I have a Double Oven Slimline Shaker Card to share and Oh is it awesome! This new die from Whimsy Stamps is one of my new favorites…and I don’t think it’s hard to see why. Just take a look at the video and photos below!

I’ve share all the details and how-to in the video so it’s easy! I love the little oven mitt and potholder. I also used the NEW Baking die set to add in the pie and the turkey (how cute are they)?!?

I do think this slimline oven is the cutest as a shaker card, but you certainly don’t have to make it into a shaker. I added some peppermint embellishments to my shaker (they just remind me of the holidays)!

I just had to make a mint green shaker oven…inspired by my new mini fridge at my office! It’s so cute and retro!

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

I hope you enjoyed this project today. I sure had a great time making it. I’d love to hear your favorite holiday baking recipes! Leave me a comment below or on the video and tell me…do you make pies?!

Antiquing Gilding Flakes

By KariV on October 12, 2023 in Christmas, Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have another card to share in my Halloween Card Series: Antiquing Gilding Flakes. I’m adding a cute (and spooky) ghost to a Thorny Frame Die so the ghost looks like it’s coming right out of that frame.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

When I saw that Thorny Frame Die I just knew I had to have it. I love it! I wanted to create this card with the ghost coming right out of that frame (how spooky is that)?!?

I’m using Gilding Flakes today and then creating a more antiqued look. This is a fun technique!

I created another card with this same technique using Gold Gilding Flakes and the new Scrooge stamp set from Whimsy:

You can see I only added the gilding flakes in small sections, and on the berries. See the video to see just how I created the gilding and then the antiqued look on those frames!

I hope you enjoyed this project today! See you soon with another card to share!

Haunted Family Portraits

By KariV on October 5, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun and quick Haunted Family Portraits card to share with you. I’m using a SMALL 3×4 stamp set for this card…but this little stamp set really packs a punch!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Does this look like your family portrait hallway?! I was reminded of the Disney Haunted mansion with those family portraits whose eyes follow you down the hallway! So funny.

I love that there is a small silhouette stamp set with these images and this frame. It is perfect for building a portrait card like this.

I hope you enjoyed this project today! I’ll be back soon with more cards to share.

Happiest Skeletons

By KariV on September 20, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a new video and two cards to share with the Happiest Skeletons! I’m also sharing the absolute easiest way to mask and ink on a card.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

I’m excited to share that Whimsy now has No Fuss Masks (for many of their stamp sets)…and one that they are introducing TODAY is this one to match this new stamp set!

For this first card, I stamped the images and then stamped the EXTRA hand and foot stamps on the background. I colored everything up with Copics (cool greys for the main characters, and warm greys for the extra limbs)!

I love this slimline Filmstrip Die…I do think it is perfect for this card. I stenciled on that spider and the bats in the background with black ink.

For this second card, I used those No Fuss Masks (which I LOVE!!!) and masked off the skeletons so I could ink on the backgrounds and add some stenciling and stamping, without getting ink on those main characters. It’s an amazing new product!

I hope you enjoyed these projects today! I’ve been loving the Halloween Card Series, and I hope you have too! See you soon with more cards.

Stamptember! Spooky & Mice

By KariV on September 13, 2023 in Halloween, Holidays, Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to share my Special Edition Halloween Card video for Stamptember! Featuring the Spooky & Mice stamp set Whimsy collaboration!

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Just how cute are these costumed critters?! I did quite a bit of masking to create this card, but I think the results are worth it. Check out my video for all the details and fun!
